Today I introduced legislation to ban the use of SNAP benefits on certain types of sugary snacks and drinks. We stole this idea from states like Hawaii.

NEW: It will soon be a crime in California for state lawmakers to sign non-disclosure agreements when they write new laws or use taxpayer dollars. Gov. Newsom signed the bill tonight filed in response to our reporting that uncovered their use. kcra.com/article/california-…

Two Assembly Republican bills to cut red tape and streamline wildfire prevention efforts passed committee this week. We won’t stop fighting to protect California and our communities from devastating wildfires.

#caleg Democrat leaders "intend" to protect California's children. @AsmJoePatterson is right. Their "intention" doesn't accomplish anything.

Proud to join with @JuanAlanisCA for my third attempt to make felony domestic violence to be classified as a “violent felony.” Believe it or not, some of the worst forms of domestic violence are eligible for early release. Our sponsor this year is @calsheriffs

I'm honored to work with @AsmJoePatterson on AB 292, a bill to help deliver justice for victims of domestic violence. This legislation would classify domestic violence as a “violent felony,” ensuring that the most dangerous offenders are held accountable and remain ineligible for early release. I urge my fellow legislators to join us in supporting this important bill.

Thank you @CommunityNotes for fact checking these completely ridiculous claims.
California has dramatically slowed and reduced the growth of homelessness – making more progress than a majority of other states, the nation as a whole, and previous administrations. We’re continuing to lead the charge in getting people off the streets & connected to care.

"The most important thing is that people know how decisions made by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats and the cost it puts on their everyday lives," Patterson said. Thx @huntersowards3 for covering our attempt to rein in CARB and promote transparency cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/…

This doesn’t have too much of a legislative purpose, but I am the vice - chair of the privacy committee, and I don’t understand how reporters being in a locker room serves the public interest. Seems like we have privacy laws to protect these things.
